GLVC Volleyball Schedule Begins in Late January

The Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) formally announced its volleyball schedule, following a unanimous vote of approval by the GLVC Council of Presidents. The schedule, which begins January 29-30, features a new tri-match/pod format unique to the 2021 season, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Conference’s 15 teams will compete in three five-team divisions. There will be 18 matches where every team plays their divisional opponent twice, both home and away, and every non-divisional opponent once at a pre-determined pod site. Truman State is in the Central Division with Quincy, Missouri-St. Louis, Maryville and Lindenwood. The East Division consists of Illinois Springfield, Indianapolis, Lewis, McKendree and Southern Indiana. The West Division includes Drury, Missouri S&T, Rockhurst, Southwest Baptist and William Jewell.

The GLVC Volleyball Championship Tournament will be conducted April 15-17 at Eastside Centre in East Peoria, Illinois. Qualifying procedures for the eight-team tournament will be announced at a later date.
